Coinciding with this weekend’s fighting-game-filled festivities at Evo 2019, Street Fighter V is running a free trial on PS4 and PC from August 1 through August 11. Along with the 16-character base roster, Capcom is also opening up the game’s Season 3 crew: Sagat, Sakura, Cody, Falke, G, and Blanka.
The latter perk makes the free trial worth mentioning, as I have to imagine that most of us who were going to check out Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition would’ve done so by now. It’s been around, y’know?

Still, from Capcom’s point of view, the timing is a no-brainer – it’s Evo weekend!
It’s that time of year when we’re all just that much more into fighting games. I can already feel it in the air. I can already see the upsets. I’m finding it tougher and tougher to keep up with Evo, but I’ll always surrender my Sunday to the adrenaline-pumping finals. This year, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is set to close out the event, so the Street Fighter V finals are happening early – they’re at 12:00pm Pacific.
I don't have SF6…
Who ever said so?
Our mind is only in one place, #SFVAE work! ;D pic.twitter.com/BkBiTSkSTe— Yoshinori Ono (@Yoshi_OnoChin) July 25, 2019
As for what Capcom will announce at Evo 2019, it won’t be Street Fighter 6. Patience…
